SIEGMUND BERNHARDT, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

SPRING-CLASP FOR GLOVES.

SPECIFICATION" forming part: of Letters Patent No. 863,578, dated Niay 24, 1887.

Application filed March 19, IP87. Serial No. 231,586. (Remodel) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIEGMUND BERNHARDT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Spring- Olasp for Gloves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a broken view of a glove having my improved clasp applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the clasp as it appears when closed, the washer I) being removed and the pivot or hinge pin shown in section; and Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the clasp open.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

The clasp is composed of two members, A B, the spring 0, the pivot or hinge pin a,which unites the members A B, and the washer b. The members A B are formed with several holes, 0 c, for securing the clasp to the glove at the placket thereof between the lining and the outer partof the glove, as shown in Fig. 1. The memberA is formed with the two inclined edges (1 (1, against which the end a of the spring 0 acts to hold the clasp closed, as shown in Fig. 2, and open, as shown in Fig. 3. The spring 0 is a flatpointed steel spring secured to the member B by rivets f, and the hinge end of the member B is formed with a circular cheek-piece, g, to give a finished appearance to the clasp and to inclose one side of the end of the spring, while the washer b, held by the pin a, finishes the clasp at the other side and incloses the other side of the spring, so that the spring works between the cheekpieceg and washer b.

To prevent the clasp from being opened too far, I form the member A with the small projection h, which acts as a stop against the end of the spring 0, as shown clearlyin Fig. 3.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The member A, formed with the two inclined edges (1 d and stop It, and hinged to the member-B, formed with the cheek-piece g, in combination with the spring G and the washer b, substantially as described.

SIEGMUND BERNHARDT.
